EXTRA STUFF

Jobs

Hey do you want to write about video games? Sure you do! If you think you have what it takes and are able to put your thoughts and analysis into proper words and sentences, then man do we have news for you.

While yes, we are a small team, but that will only bring more opportunities and room to grow! We are new, we are pretty much unknown at this point but what we lack in number and size, (HA!) we make up with knowledge and experience in the scene (DOUBLE HA!).

We don’t promise you the world, and stuff like ‘exposure’ or ‘name’ bullshit.

We don’t do that. We offer free crisps, possibly free pies and coffee and best of all – room to grow and opportunity to work with like-minded folks who love video games. Savvy? Good. Drop us a line at

Ex-Renegades and Team Canada’s World Cup team player, DPS expert Liam “Mangachu” Campbell along with Ex-Cloud9 and Team USA’s World Cup player, support main Adam “Adam” Eckel have signed with the NYXL organization. But hold on to your horses for now, as they won’t be playing for the main team. Instead, both will be spearheading the New York Excelsior’s Overwatch Contenders team, XL2.

The move was confirmed via the team’s official Twitter account (see above) and both players will be joined by seasoned pros including –

Yeon-kwan “Nenne” Jeong – ex- LW Blue

Mike “Midnight” Ryan – ex-Rise Nation

James “Cloneman16” D’Arcangelo – ex-Kelvin and the Chipmunks

Anthony “Goliath” Pietro – ex-Envision esports

XL2 will be competing in Overwatch Contenders against the likes of other ‘Overwatch League academy teams’ such as (Philadelphia) Fusion University and (Los Angeles) Gladiators Legion in the Contenders North America circuit. A glaring omission from the XL2 roster is Korean superstar hitscan player, Yeon-oh “Fl0w3R” Hwang, whom many assumed would be joining NYXL’s academy team since he’s not yet eligible to play in the Overwatch League.

The Overwatch Contenders is the developmental league for the Overwatch League, a scene where aspiring players, or those who fail to land a spot in the big stage compete in an organized, professional setup.
